Is the team's "Lidstrom Cap" gone?

When Lidstrom was here, the team had a rule that no player was paid more than Lidstrom. Is that rule still in effect but now applied to Datsyuk and Zetterberg? Because it's probably going to take $7.5-$8 million a year to land Parise and and Suter each.

It is probably gone considering where the cap went since those deals. Datsyuk's cap hit was a bigger chunk of the salary cap than what those figures would be now. The interesting thing will be do the Wings give Pavel that kind of money at 35 to right that situation.
